The question isn’t whether people like or dislike something, the comment I commented on stated that free markets depend on transparent pricing which in my humble opinion cannot be further from the truth.

Yes I know, and I explained that the person who was confused by the way your comment was worded. We continued discussing the issue after that, and personally, it doesn't matter to me whether it's a strict requirement of the free market or not; there are plenty of things that are theoretically not incompatible with a free market that I think are bad, and this is one of them.
People hate airline pricing as well, so I'm not sure that makes the point you think it does. I don't see why "lots of business do something people don't like" somehow means people should stop disliking it.

If you think it's silly to spend time discussing it, you're not under any obligation to. There's nothing wrong with people who do think it's an issue discussing it either though, and I don't think anyone concerned by it is going to be particularly dissuaded by just asserting that they shouldn't be.
